could u tel me maybe ur opener on bossfight ?

primal gazelle
#

i pugged a 15 siege last night with some 1300 io players... ele sham and demo lock. I literally did almost more damage than both of them combined, 35k dps vs their 18/19k. Their logic was that they both went complete ST spec because its a 15 tyrannical key, and only did 2-3k boss damage more than me.. which saved at MOST 15-25 seconds per boss and this is being modest..

#

meanwhile the rest of the dungeon felt like a fortified dungeon because each pack took forever to die due to their low aoe

short flicker
#

Hello, i have one question , when are we running MA (when we dont have any garrote trait in raid or?) and on wich bosses is it good pure ST or ?

golden relic
#

Classic

#

its like the casual

#

"can you go outlaw"

#

question

#

have u had that yet

primal gazelle
#

like there must be some type of compromise between st/aoe for tyrannical

#

yeah literally every dungeon

#

but tbh i might go outlaw next week depending on what my azerite vendor gives me feelsyarrman

strange python
#

id go outlaw but no azerites

#

id be decent as sin but shit daggers

golden relic
#

was outlaw startof dazalor before the super craze of it, raided as it abit aswell. then i just had a week of reforging , and i cbad and sticked to assa ,.L so ye, if the game would give me loot in mythic so i can play more then 1 spec would be great cause i aint paying some 35k fee again

marble elm
#

Sounds like a bad warlock

golden relic
#

idk why they cant just make the price go up and let it cap at like 5k

strange python
#

actually gonna sim my gear atm, if im higher in outlaw, cya till i get daggers

golden relic
#

remove that reforge shit and fix PL

#

and i pretty fine tbh, wont complain

#

or atleast bring back ML

modest badge
#

sims say i do about the same single target as assassin but sure doesnt feel like it

#

for outlaw

rose loom
#

where can i find the opener for MA?

fair blaze
#

Check the pins and there it is

rose loom
#

epic thx

royal lantern
#

well

#

sin dmg is pretty consistant

#

outlaw has big up and downs

rose loom
#

TTK>DD in dungeons right?

round harbor
#

Is that how u really feel

rancid blaze
#

TTK?

rose loom
#

twist the knife

rancid blaze
#

Ahh ok

wild stone
#

Checked pins, also ravenhold. With 3DD and Master Assassin.. Ravenhold says use TB after vanish, I thought it was 5pt envenom after vanish. Does anyone have the proper rotation for 3DD MA ST?

nimble tartan
#

they are pretty close, with 3 DD i prefer to tb before the vanish in order to be able to crit 2 mutilates & an envenom OR crit 1 mutilate and 2 envenoms in the window

smoky fiber
#

Tb after vanish is more consistent from what dratnos keeps saying but itโ€™s probably overall minor either way.

nimble tartan
#

since a crit mut and DD will do more damage than a crit tb forsure at 3 dd

round harbor
#

oh no guys

#

i see someone sitting near me that has ravenholdt discord on their computer

#

which one of u is it

nimble tartan
#

its me

#

say hey

round harbor
#

wow dude why would you flick me off like that

#

fucking toxic

arctic harness
#

Is the dungeon slice sim a good indication for M+?

round harbor
#

yes/no

#

it prefers small cleave and boss dmg

arctic harness
#

Got a 405 haste>mastery belt and a 400 crit mastery, dunno what to use for M+

wild stone
#

It showed assassination better than outlaw.. I'm not listening to it at all.

bleak spoke
#

@spice surge i'm wtching your progress on sneg's stream :^)

spice surge
#

:^)

arctic harness
#

Well, if you like padding reaping Outlaw is great I guess

round harbor
#

sin can do just fine reaping dmg

visual quartz
#

3xEB in reaping is hella fun, finally got it and tried it last night, out bursting DHs is definitely new to me.

strange python
#

15 9+s, no dagger

#

pray for me boys/girls

cloud iris
#

@primal gazelle ''galecallers hot trash for m+'' even with exsanguinate snapshot?

primal gazelle
#

yes

bleak spoke
#

i disagree

#

when you have galecaller's on you don't actually need any dots out to spam fok

#

i think it's alright

primal gazelle
#

cant tell if youre trolling or not

visual quartz
#

Same @strange python, got lucky in an 8 and got a 390, was a big upgrade ๐Ÿ˜

strange python
#

i'm literally 400+ in every slot except helm and daggers, 370 on helm, 375/340 on daggers

round harbor
#

is your lootspec outlaw

strange python
#

nope

steady wharf
#

even the emissary quests would've given you 385 daggers

lone junco
#

@primal gazelle did you have GC first week of bfa m0? the circle was so fucking small. lol

round harbor
#

i have a hard time believing youve done that many keys without seeing a dagger drop, unless ur spamming motherloard or some shit

strange python
#

nah i'm spamming everything but non dagger drops

#

i think ive done lode like once

primal gazelle
#

flawless died once during reaping there and lost alot of overall dmg, i could argue he wouldve done more overall dmg with HB over CT but who knows

strange python
#

and everything has been timed except shrine, which lol

round harbor
#

press x to doubt

#

lol

visual quartz
#

TD seems best, howliss shiv is nice

marble elm
#

Just get a 425 one from raid ๐Ÿ™‚

primal gazelle
#

shrine dagger best for fok spam

strange python
#

so ive done 19 mythic + actually, all over 8+ lmfaoooo

#

my luck is just trash like my daggers

hollow stone
#

Sounds like you dont want a dagger badly enough

visual quartz
#

Id run some with you for a second chance, feel bad now ๐Ÿ˜›

strange python
#

@rawr if you dont believe me, check my io profile

round harbor
#

cbf lol

strange python
#

within 3 days, i did 19

hollow stone
#

For every person with good luck, there's one with bad luck. Welcome to... the others

strange python
#

i can't complain tho lmfao. i did get 3x harlans b2b2b

visual quartz
#

just replaced my 375dagger been using since january. weaps are rare for some ppl

lone junco
#

all my weps are raid drops. ayo

strange python
#

i think we're doing a heroic reclear tonight be4 mythic prog so ill just swap my main out for my rogue

#

maybe ill get lucky then

paper heron
#

you guys still doin exsang for m+?

hollow stone
#

Same. Which makes sense from a probability perspective

golden relic
#

not being main rogue MonkaSub

strange python
#

personally, i have yet to try exsang. i heard it's nice

hollow stone
#

Boss loot table in raid is like 4ish. Loot table in m+ is bigger

strange python
#

true that

nimble tartan
#

ye from what ive seen sin is relatively close to outlaw in m+ overall damage, its just outlaw is just like 1000x easier to gear for atm, but people are gettin proper gear sets at good ilvls now

round harbor
#

and they are different specs

#

4head

#

sin brings similar amount of utility in different forms

bleak spoke
#

sin silence ๐Ÿ’ฏ

round harbor
#

silences/steps/slows vs on demand stuns/gouges/vanish utility

bleak spoke
#

gouge is giga for dungeons like motherlode tho

#

where you have a lot of stuff that has to be kicked one way or another

nimble tartan
#

i do value vanish to cheese boss mechanics at a higher rate with outlaw a lil more but yeah i think the final choice will fall to what your group needs if u have a stablle one

round harbor
#

a good rogue can play both depending on whats needed

#

same with raid

bleak spoke
#

i'm building a sub set right now

round harbor
#

never sub though, just....no

bleak spoke
#

tbh

nimble tartan
#

sub will rise again brother

#

im with u

bleak spoke
#

i think it's still the way to time high shrine keys

round harbor
#

maybe if they buff replicating shadows by idk, 4000%

bleak spoke
#

and high siege keys

round harbor
#

i can see it being viable then

nimble tartan
#

replicating is not the way to fix sub that trait doodoo

cosmic pier
#

rise from last to seccond last place OMEGALUL

bleak spoke
#

until i get 3 ttk like seli i think

vestal wren
#

but you can for m+ ๐Ÿ˜› (while playing sin)

bleak spoke
#

FeelsBadMan ๐Ÿ”ซ

strange python
#

id run with outlaw till i got daggers but seems like outlaw is only simming like 600 above sin atm

#

idk if that's justifiable to switch yet

bleak spoke
#

wot

round harbor
#

the shitty part about sub is that its best aoe talent/ completely fucks your dmg lol

bleak spoke
#

wait what's the meme

vestal wren
#

no, but you can use bis sub shoulders for m+ in assassination spec so you essentially use sub gear

bleak spoke
#

@round harbor i think running sectec is a critical error in dungeons tho

#

llike it's the opposite of what you play sub for

#

which is to funnel damage into an elite right?

#

not spread it out

vestal wren
#

1x rs is fine i guess

round harbor
#

that being said, shit needs to die though

#

is it getting fixed?

cosmic pier
#

bin outlaw, overbuff sub, and leave sin alone. the blizzard solution

hushed maple
#

is the no SS trait opener for sf even good?

cosmic pier
#

then sin outscales sub anyway ๐Ÿ˜›

hushed maple
#

Only one garrote, even tho you can do two since you have sf?

primal gazelle
#

my mentality is the opposite, raiding is a source of gear for m+ ๐Ÿค”

paper heron
#

so if im gonna sim exsang vs tb for m+ is dungeon slice even useful for that?

round harbor
#

raiding is the best source of gear for m+

vestal wren
#

i mean i agree with dad that certain affixes/trait combinations can make subtlety good

#

so thats not a meme

#

and in case blizz wants to make another zul we might be good in the raid

bleak spoke
#

i wish i had a sub set for the bolstering week :x

round harbor
#

i mena champions could be considered a zul-ish fight

primal gazelle
#

envenom funnels is enough for bolstering

stable pine
#

I wish blizz would make another Zul boss - such a fun fight for sub!

#

When I roll rogue - I envision a button smashing tunneling dps playstyle

round harbor
#

thats the opposite of rogue

#

what ur looking for is frostdk

bleak spoke
#

When I roll rogue I envision having a lot of control over every fight :x

cosmic pier
#

bring back agonizing poison ๐Ÿ˜› i loved having an excuse to tunnel

marble hemlock
#

@golden relic i ran like 43% mastery. crit cycles between 36-40% depending on mekkatorque stage

#

@primal gazelle nah, we dont log m+

golden relic
#

43, thats fuckin huge

bleak spoke
#

Those r some chunky dots

golden relic
#

do u have like all crit mastery only majority of the gear or what

marble hemlock
#

pmuch, only non crit/mastery items i have are opu MH and waycrest crit/vers/socket ring

round harbor
#

vers is nice too

cosmic pier
#

jesus fuck thats obscene

marble hemlock
#

got a handful of haste items due to sockets and i kinda wanna run close to 10% haste

round harbor
#

seli what is the actual crit value

golden relic
#

I got shit ton of vers and haste, like 2 mastery items , big yikes

round harbor
#

highest i can get unbuffed is 1850ish

#

but im pretty much locked into that cause daggers are non crit

marble hemlock
#

since you need ~11-12% haste to continuously spam 35energy GCDs with 4ruptures

golden relic
#

im 9% haste atm in my gear, 27% mastery and 37% crit, id maybe drop some crit and use gigavolt instead but I was saying earlier idk , if it would be worth, probably

edgy ginkgo
#

guys i did a top 3 nhc log at stormwall! YAY, thanks for your help today

marble hemlock
#

~11% haste gives you around 20seconds of being able to spam 35/energy sec finishers until you run dry, at which point youre using a few 25energy ones to refresh the ruptures anyway, basically giving you full sustain

primal gazelle
#

what if you just rupture a 5th mob

spice surge
#

Then you do less envenoms

marble hemlock
#

well, thats always an option, but not really worth#

#

its less envenoms or less foks

#

id prefer to minimize the amount of GCDs and CPs spent on finishers that are only for energy sustain

primal gazelle
#

why dont you log m+ btw

marble hemlock
#

but yeah, i could run like 3% more crit and less mastery if i swapped mastery sockets to crit

primal gazelle
#

id like to compare numbers

marble hemlock
#

no point

bleak spoke
#

how much haste would you need for just 3 ruptures would you say

#

cuz right now i'm way overindexed into haste

marble hemlock
#

didnt calculate that, since its not worth the calc. the amount of haste needed would be way too high for a setting where we want to minimize useless stats on gear

#

not sure if eleem did the numbers on 3 ruptures

bleak spoke
#

ah okay

#

i'm at 19% haste MonkaSub

spice surge
#

Like 32.6% Seli

marble hemlock
#

ye, i think it was something like 30% haste for 3ruptures

spice surge
#

And its only like 54% haste for 2 ruptures

#

Ez clap

marble hemlock
#

honestly, the aoe gameplay is debatable, i just like the ST feel of playing so much around TB

round harbor
#

Oh no

#

Not the TB talk

#

Pls no flame me

primal gazelle
#

i have more fun being a filthy padder

marble hemlock
#

just feels nice to have little phases of burst every 25-30seconds where you can dish out 60k crits

sterile magnet
#

anyone tried doing ruby as assa on opulence? Been assigned to do it for our reclear and i dont have weapons for outlaw

marble hemlock
#

yeah

#

theres really not much to it

cosmic pier
#

sin is fine for ruby

marble hemlock
#

your main-duty is to keep the debuff stacking, so if youre noticing your energy dropping, use poisoned knife instead of mutilate to keep it rolling

sterile magnet
#

ah good tip

marble hemlock
#

otherwise you might run the risk of it dropping off

sterile magnet
#

yea thats what i was thinking

marble hemlock
#

and communicate to the other ruby players when you have liquid gold and have to run out

#

if the ruby buff drops, youre wiping

#

so thats just your highest prio

sterile magnet
#

yea i know

#

thanks for the insight brother

marble hemlock
#

it has 1sec inner CD of application and 2sec duration, so rogue is kinda nice for it since just a regular gcd-locked rotation would ensure it never drops

covert crag
#

Does double dose dmg get increased with toxic blade up?

marble hemlock
covert crag
#

Thanks

round harbor
#

Very true about communication on pppulence

#

Last night I had to scream to our boomy that the other two people with Ruby were liquid Golding. Boomy adjusted and just moonfire spammed or something like that to keep buff up

#

Your DMG without opal is largely not important since the boss will fall over like 10 seconds after the third set of adds dies

#

Spawns rather

marble hemlock
#

you get a third set? ๐Ÿ˜„

round harbor
#

Yikes

#

With my on opal, nah lol

#

With me on Ruby, we getting a third set

marble hemlock
#

but yeah, once you pop bloodlust at like 80 ruby stacks and rotate the topaz people into the raid for nigh 100% uptime, the boss absolutely melts

round harbor
#

I can never tell when to vendetta

#

Like holding it feels wrong, but idk might be worth

#

With opal

sterile magnet
#

got rank 6 last week and we killed it as my vendetta came back off of cd feelsbadman

#

so i def know what u mean

marble hemlock
#

i just hold it

#

to like 10sec before 2nd wave

round harbor
#

I think highest ranking is like 40ish for me on oppu

marble hemlock
#

so refresh bleeds, drop vendetta, get everything going and then wait for adds

#

tb right before add spawn, and at that point topaz comes in and you just fok envenom 4times into your TB

#

might actually be worth to mut envenom and not care about the 4cp envenoms instead of 5 for more

sterile magnet
#

idk what worked for me was putting 3 ruptures up on adds then popping it, but thats probably because our adds were up for quite a bit longer than most guilds

sturdy python
#

Is it normal to just leave topaz out until that lust moment then rotate or just rotate them as they come up?

marble hemlock
#

we generally have a few step in if theyre all the same energy

#

so stagger them

keen inlet
#

Why is plumage so good?

sturdy python
#

Stay on use trinket

#

Stat

#

Only other one is boon with a downside

marble hemlock
#

lines up with vendetta, duration lines up with vendetta, we dont run any vers baseline so the vers on use is pretty much maximum efficiency

keen inlet
#

would you pop it with vendetta?

#

ah ok

hollow stone
#

He basically just said use it with vend. So yes

real bay
#

god bless rng, howlis dagger 420 socketed ionsadhours

hollow stone
#

Ayyyy. Gratz my dude

jaunty crystal
#

one of these days I'm gonna get opal ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

heavy trail
shrewd plover
#

!gem

#

Best gem for rogue on Opu ?

jaunty crystal
#

opal unless your guild wants you to get the ruby

shrewd plover
#

@jaunty crystal Tks !!

fickle obsidian
#

are we good for ruby ?

jaunty crystal
#

sin is honestly not the best ruby holder

#

but it's fine and if your raid leader wants you to pick it up then you pick it up ๐Ÿ˜›

marble hemlock
#

we also happen to be one of the worst opal holders ๐Ÿ˜„

jaunty crystal
#

yea lol

marble hemlock
#

1sec gcd is pretty nice for maintaining opal tbh, ideally youd want higher apm classes but we can just use poisoned knife instead of muti if we run low on energy

#

and usually you have like 3-4rubies anyway

royal lantern
#

i honestly just ignore my dps anyway when i get ruby duty

#

like, who cares,you help other people, just keep the buff up

#

turn on dmg taken and laugh at other people that fuk stuff up instead

hollow stone
#

Yea. For sure better ruby classes, but most of those are also better opal classes... just bring bm hunters if you can find any lolol

marble hemlock
#

honestly, i dont think assa is bad for ruby

#

we got a cheap spammable range attack when we have to carry stuff out

#

and its unlikely that we die to random shit, leaving the raid with 1 less ruby carry

hollow stone
#

Yea. Thats why ive been ruby duty. I dont die unless it's "we're gonna kill it. Go die to that coin shower"

marble hemlock
#

and 1sec gcd makes the re-application quite a bit safer

hollow stone
#

And if you actually focus on the buff, its easy to keep up even with low apm class

marble hemlock
#

ye

hollow stone
#

True dat. Didnt even think of the base gcd initially

marble hemlock
#

like, we have 2 DHs carrying ruby and me

#

DHs sometimes are locked into beam for example, and only first hit applies ruby

hollow stone
#

Yea. Should be fine

marble hemlock
#

so when they do their thing, its my job to keep it up

#

ye

#

since their pets dont scale with the other buffs

hollow stone
#

Fair. I wouldnt know since we have 1 hunter and he's pretty much a part time raider

#

Pets scale w opal now

marble hemlock
#

oh okay

hollow stone
#

Hotfixed a week? Maybe 2 weeks? Ago

marble hemlock
#

never payed attention since we only have 3 MMs

hollow stone
#

But still know what you mean

#

We got boomies n locks topazint

marble hemlock
#

think we have 2 mages 2boomers

#

barely have any opals, cause theyre not really needed

hollow stone
#

Same same for ruby

#

Yea. Opal is given to the people who are more likely to die lol

#

I tried it on heroic thinking, oh, this'll be good with a quick kill. Was not impressed

#

And i feel like on mythic unless youre the luckiest of all ducks, you get frick'd cause of mechanics

#

Yea. It wasnt bad. I just, idk, was same same as opal basically

#

I think if we only got the 2 add phases (we're killing it with 3rd set just spawning or being up for 5-10 sec), then MAYBE we could get away with emerald. Idk. Ill just stick to ruby

#

Yea exactly. Makes the choice easy lol

nimble tartan
#

i always take ruby as sin ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

hollow stone
#

I know

nimble tartan
#

why would i let anyone else take it when they gain more from opal ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#

be unselfish and help ur friends ok..

#

im not a chad bro..

round harbor
#

Hello no

hollow stone
#

But.. if they were really friends wouldnt they wanna help you get dat big boi parse?

#

Lolol

wary ice
#

I'm going to sim it later; but if i dont have any SS traits its highly likely i should be testing Subt vs MA right?

smoky fiber
#

if you dont have any SS traits subt is unlikely to sim better

royal lantern
#

why do people always say that

#

i have 0 ss traits for months now

#

MA sims 0,2%better

obsidian ridge
#

soooo I just rolled my 3rd EB/SS piece. got 3 of them in 415 now. lets see what assassination can do eh

royal lantern
#

with pretty much all setups

strange python
#

there's m+ #22, no dagger

#

LOL

#

i'm so burnt out

vast glacier
#

If I use Envenom two times in a row, will buff from second Envenom add duration to first or overwrite it?

strange python
#

itll refresh it completely

#

they dont stack

nimble tartan
#

yeah subtrfuge hasnt been relevant in my sims for a few months now

#

i also dont think its relevant in this raid either ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

royal lantern
#

try too use the 2nd envenom when the buff is about too run out

strange python
#

are you running shrouded suffocation?

#

trait @nimble tartan

royal lantern
#

eh, some fights its better then MA imo

round harbor
#

@nimble tartan careful. The SS truthers are gonna attack you

royal lantern
#

but my opinion is biased anyway cus my luck with MA is legendary bad

nimble tartan
#

no, but even 2 its not worth lose too much

strange python
#

ah fair

royal lantern
#

so take it with a grain of salt

nimble tartan
#

i dont think anyboss is a subter boss prob only rastakhan

#

but that boss a MEME

#

its an MA TIER BABY

vast glacier
#

Ok, thanks. If using Elaborate Planning, should I use Env when EP buff runs out or when Env buff runs out?

round harbor
#

Even if you care about the add damage at the beginning then you'd just go outlaw lol

strange python
#

if you want to minmax around that, i'd assume when EP runs out

royal lantern
#

dude

strange python
#

but you'll starve energy doing that quickly

royal lantern
#

we talk about differences that are under 1% most of the time

#

not 26%

strange python
#

its not really worth it playing around EP/Env buff "uptimes"

wary ice
#

It feels bad cause my traits are pretty ok for raid and just garbo for M+ - which is why i rolled rogue in the first place lol

#

Cant afford multiple sets yet

strange python
#

unless ur in vend/tb window

wary ice
#

super unlucky with drops

strange python
#

dont talk to me about unlucky with drops pls

vast glacier
#

If it does not worth it, when should I use env? ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

strange python
#

ill cry

#

have you checked out a guide yet?

wary ice
#

I'll cry with u karhoot

strange python
#

22 m+ 9+ without a dagger or weapon period

wary ice
#

THe best way env usage was ever explained to me was to stop thinking about "when should i" and instead think "why should i"

vast glacier
#

Yes, but both IcyVeins and Ravenholdt do not detail Env usage

strange python
#

^

vast glacier
#

To get more damage, obviously ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

strange python
#

so basically, you use envenom as you normally would, don't spam it, you want to be able to get off 2-3 envenoms during toxic blade

wary ice
#

Right but if you dont have TB /vendetta up

strange python
#

if you dont have it up, ur pooling for the next tb window, as it's only a 25 sec cd

wary ice
#

getting an envenom out and then being choked on enrgy while building CP is roughly == to pooling energy at 4-5cps

idle vigil
#

You want to use envenom during the ep

#

Make sure they overlap

strange python
#

^

#

dont spam tho

wary ice
#

Yeah ideally you're trying to maintain as much ep uptime as possible

strange python
#

pooling > uptime on env buff imo

wary ice
#

but eventually your energy stops you from keeping 100%

idle vigil
#

Only time to spam would be lust while tb is up or something

strange python
#

yep

vast glacier
#

Ok, got it, thanks! So I shoud pool to TB, not play around EP

strange python
#

i would start there yeah

idle vigil
#

Like my oepener with gale and lust and vendetta with np is stupid amonts of energy

wary ice
#

Its a lot more nuanced then that

#

theres no hard and fast do this with it

strange python
#

the whole thing is managing energy to dump envs in tb window

#

exactly

#

dont let bleeds fall off

#

or ur screwed

wary ice
#

v true :^(

strange python
#

paint will dry faster than u regain energy if that happens

wary ice
#

also v true :^(

obsidian ridge
#

!wa

prisma monolithBOT
vast glacier
#

Ok, so priorities: pool energy for TB, then if it is pooled, play for EP uptime?

true ingot
#

At what point does MA/TB actually overtake Subt/Exsang in sims? It's still lagging behind by 2% for me.

#

At 406 ilvl.

spice surge
#

If you're using shitty SS traits then never

quick ice
#

Depends on traits. MA won't overtake if you have any SS traits

spice surge
#

But at some point you shouldnt be running multiple SS for ST

royal lantern
#

0,2%

He said subterfuge+exsang

true ingot
#

I have 2x DD, 1 NP, 3x SS.

spice surge
#

Exsang isnt really relevant now

royal lantern
#

im talking about the people early eleem, not you

#

that all said that MA is soooooo much better

obsidian ridge
#

i dont think CT is good

#

@wary ice yes

round harbor
#

Posion bomb or hb depending on crit rating

wide delta
#

its literally translated word for word lol

wary ice
#

I've been running PB cause im stuck on TB for as long as i have 2 mandatory DD's

obsidian ridge
#

playing with 27.4% crit

wary ice
#

I'm just bein a 3 yearold with the word ass :^)

obsidian ridge
#

could get a lot more i think

round harbor
#

Probly better off just playing pbomb in dungeons until you do some testing on your gear to see if hb pulls ahead

obsidian ridge
#

I see. Also: toxic blade? I am using 3 traits for aoe only, so picking tb for more st would be worth it?

wide delta
#

so sin is no more CT in m+?

obsidian ridge
#

this only applies if you use 3 echoing blades traits

round harbor
#

You can CT successfully

#

I personally don't think it's worth unless mongo pulling but that's my 2cents

#

I think flawless still runs it a little bit

bleak star
#

which traits best to get?

#

bleed one and mutilate?

spice surge
#

Sure you can run CT with stuff like scent and 3x Eb, but at that point your damage profile is so similar to outlaw, and probably slightly worse

#

So there just isnt much point

ashen spoke
#

Does NP snapshot haste? like should i make sure to Galecaller's Boon before vendetta?

drifting cloud
#

never heard anyone talk about it so Id assume it doesnt

steady grotto
#

how big of a problem is over capping energy in your opener

#

i've got so much haste atm

#

saving galecallers for my second toxic blade because i'm over capping so much if i pop it with vendetta

sturdy python
#

Dont save GCB. Haste boosts your dots too

#

You shouldnt be capping that badly in opener

quiet crescent

How much haste?

WRONG HELMET

marble hemlock
#

no ttk ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

scarlet wing
#

no bis helmet this week

rustic ether
#

why are people taking ttk in m+ it is not god

scarlet wing
#

ttk?

marble hemlock
#

because if youre going full aoe on assa, you could just play outlaw instead

#

ttk gives you meaningful priority target damage, coupled with decent singletarget due to running tb+pb

scarlet wing
#

what do u mean with ttk?

#

time to kill?

marble hemlock
#

twist the knife

rustic ether
#

yeah except outlaw is boring as all fuck

scarlet wing
#

i hate ttk

marble hemlock
#

shun the nonbeliever ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

scarlet wing

^^

marble hemlock
#

your name literally has "poison" in it and yet you deny your lord and savior, a poison trait

scarlet wing
#

@nimble tartan not rly wrong helmet. in my opinion bis this weak

marble hemlock
#

its like your parents calling you jesus and you convert to buddhism

rustic ether
#

i have bis azerite except my shoulders are SS BI which is kinda nice as my crit is a tidbit low

marble hemlock
#

scarlet wing

ttk shrouded helmet?

๐Ÿ™

is ttk rly so strong?

@marble hemlock how strong is it u think?

PPL ACCTUALLY STILL BEING PEASENTS TO SHROUDED TILTS ME

#

SAME WITH RAID SETUP

#

LEAVE IT IN THE PAST

marble hemlock
#

I mean, theres obviously a place for the SS/EB build in trash heavy dungeons that dont require a lot of prio damage, but I strongly feel that the TTK build is the go-to build for assa in m+ due to its niche

lone junco
#

non believers

scarlet wing
#

u dont play shrouded anymore?

marble hemlock
#

every class can do decent or strong aoe, few classes/specs can do good prio damage

lone junco
#

100k env is big eggplant

#

fok env fok env fok env can come in hot

golden relic
scarlet wing
#

u rly think eb ttk can be meta?

golden relic
#

I mean look at the top assa rogues in m+ on RIO

marble hemlock
#

i mean, im playing it right now, its good damage

#

and gives you the flexibilityto swap between prio damage and aoe damage whenever you want

lone junco
#

1ss 2eb 3ttk? or 1ss 3eb 2 ttk?

golden relic
#

most of them are using TTK, i think grim is the only one not using it cuz hes running the SSxEBx3 meme

#

with CT

marble hemlock
#

i run 2eb/3ttk rn, 3eb is overkill honestly

scarlet wing
#

dog morningwind?

desert vault
#

Yeah I think 2eb is all good

lone junco
#

morning wood?

golden relic
#

morning wind runs x2x2x2

#

x2ss x2ttk x2eb

desert vault
#

I was having with 2x EB, ss, np this week was doing some fun boss damage

golden relic
#

U think using a 375 opulence head over a EB 415 head is worth seli

marble hemlock
#

its just nice to look at the damage distribution and have envneom be on par with garrote/fok

golden relic
#

i mean its 45 ilvls but the traits are useless

marble hemlock
#

SS is overrated

desert vault
#

Need them rasta shoulders. Yeah ss is just quality of life I think

marble hemlock
#

unless its something like temple or kingsrest, where you usually only pull 3-4 trashmobs at a time anyway

#

so you actually save time by popping the garrotes on 3 targets and then prio the 4th so they die at the same time

#

but usually you pull like 10+ mobs, having garrote up on 3 of them that ticks hard and kills them faster than the rest doesnt actually make the pull go faster

#

you still gotta clean up the other 7

desert vault
#

On a 5+ pack how are opening @marble hemlock spread in 3 garrote and 2 or 3 rupture then fork and envenom spam?

marble hemlock
#

ye

#

3garrote+2rupture

#

once garrotes run out, 4rupture for energy sustain

#

if i have vendetta, i do 3g+1r instead, since the vendetta energy will keep sustain high enough for the first stage of the aoe gameplay

#

and then transition into 4r maintenance

desert vault
#

True

#

Opulence is ttk/eb right? Or is that rasta shoulders?

marble hemlock
#

opu is ttk+ss

#

rasta is ttk+eb, ye

golden relic
#

acctually nice

#

having pieces come from the raid

#

not having to gamble

sterile sequoia
#

100%

marble hemlock
#

definitely a good move to put azerite onto every boss

sterile sequoia
#

and with generally really good traits

marble hemlock
#

im still convinced that blizzard purposefully starts out core-features like azerite in a super shitty state, despite already knowing how to improve them, but then slowly bring those improvements into the game to get players to return after a few months

scarlet wing
#

do u play tb than instead exsanguinate with ttk ?

marble hemlock
#

yes

#

tb+pb

royal lantern
#

i mean, azerite more or less does wath it is supposed too do

golden relic
#

man ima just make another engi head

scarlet wing
#

and with 2 ss still and 1 ttk i play exsang than or?

golden relic
#

drop a SS and use TTK engi head

sterile sequoia
#

And then it falls into removing things, players leave, give the same things back, people return feeling that there's incentive, when actually they didn't have to create any new features at all

golden relic
#

instead of this shit opulence LFR head

#

for traits

royal lantern
#

it gives you some individual choices/changes, but not as big as legendarys

strange python
#

2xTTK, 2xSS, 2xEB. Exang+ PB for M+? Correct?

golden relic
#

did they nerf barrage of bombs

royal lantern
#

and lets be honest, legendarys where a huge steaming pile of crap......

golden relic
#

i dnt remember if they did

untold current
#

TTK = Treacherous cov?

royal lantern
#

twist the knife

untold current
#

oh

scarlet wing
untold current
#

for real?

golden relic
#

i dont think the engi is that bad of a replacement

marble hemlock
#

legendaries were in the a similar state, where the initial release was horrible, and they slowly improved both their effects and their availablity and end-of-legion legendaries were a great asset that were being used by many people

golden relic
#

if u lack ttk

scarlet wing
#

just have one

golden relic
#

its a decent replacement

royal lantern
#

meh, most legendarys where boring as hell too

scarlet wing
#

i have than 2 ttk, 2 eb, 1 ss and the engineering proc

marble hemlock
#

azerite is in a decent state right now, although im not a big fan of the heavy primary-stat budget they carry and how they scale with ilvl

royal lantern
#

and the worst part where classes that NEEDED legendarys too be actually playable

#

spriest and the waist as an example

marble hemlock
#

having 500dps increase from a 400 to 415 ilvl azerite is stupid, seeing how other slots with the same ilvl increase usually provide ~100-150dps instead

scarlet wing
#

do i play exsang or tb if i just have one ss?

marble hemlock
#

most of us raid mythic so we have access to plenty of 415 ilvl azerites, but a lot of people dont and they will always be behind by a significant amount simply due to 15ilvl lower azerite

#

if you wanna play around TTK, you play TB

#

plain and simple

#

doenst matter if you have 3 ss/1ttk, or 3ttk/1ss

royal lantern
#

is it bad when i say that people that dont do the hard content dont need/deserve the minmax azerite stuff anyway?

marble hemlock
#

the idea is to pump envenoms into a priority target, and having a 25sec CD that improves that by 30% is huge

#

well, one of the mainreasons i still raid mythic is because of azerite

#

if i had other opportunities besides a bi-weekly gamble, i most likely wouldnt raid because both raidtiers in BfA have been godawful

royal lantern
#

i love bod

#

uldir was................weeeell.......entry lvl raid.....not good

marble hemlock
#

bod is a piss-easy raid with the most annoying final boss ever, and that includes kiljaeden

golden relic

How come this Cephaloide Jacket sim higher than the Mekka Bomber Jacket with NP+DD ?

OP sims as well as it does as it has a very high uptime in the simulation last I checked, odds are you are going to lose uptime far more than the SIM will.

mystic charm
#

Hmm, interesting

civic palm

It's still very good, but not so good.

steady grotto

@quiet crescent I know you replied like an hour ago but only just checked lol

#

i have 20.5% haste

#

I hit max energy twice in my opener

#

feel like that shouldn't happen

#

20.81* so goes up to over 40 when i pop gale

quiet crescent

Like the guy above said. Use it on opener, try smashing your buttons harder ๐Ÿคฃ

deft bane
#

Is there any video or reading source that can help me improve my opener and rotation? im struggling to get 90+ logs, i feel like im missing something crucial.. wowanalyzer is no help at all in this matter

lone junco

Raid kill speed matters. Strats matter. Tank movement.

#

But yeah. Rotation matters as well.

deft bane
#

Yea I understand that, I started with 20-40 logs and as I learned the bosses I moved up to about 80+ but im trying to find some sources as I dont really know what I can do more at this point now that I know the fights pretty much in and out ^^

soooo.......i got a good setup

thats wath i always say

wary ice

im trying to get the most out of my 415 rolls

royal lantern
#

make MA 100%crit and i play it ffs

fleet whale
#

2xdd, 2xNP, 1 SS, 1 TTK

civic palm
#

I think I am 3DD|2TC|1NP atm

royal lantern
#

i dont understand why its capped at 50%, it fells SO SHITY too use vanish just too get no crits

#

you basicly wasted a cd and gained nothing

#

and it happens so fking often for me

wary ice
#

i dislike TC compared to uldir's equivlent whos name i cant remember xd

fleet whale
#

wars had something similar like that with Reck in MoP

#

but by the time soo came out their crit was naturally high enough so it didn't matter

royal lantern
#

im sitting at 80%crit with MA out of stealth

wary ice
#

77 for me

royal lantern
#

without crit/spyglass procs

#

yeha, same for me

#

i take the 0,2%dps lost and play subterfuge, atleast i always get value out of vanish with it

fleet whale
#

i think when we get gear from the Azshara season, crit levels should be high enough for MA to be reliable basically all the time

wary ice
#

MA was a 2.5% DPS increase on st fo rme

#

so i felt it was large enough to justifty

fleet whale
#

i know an exact copy of the leggo shoulders would be too op as a talent, but MA just feels so bastardized

civic palm
#

It should probably be 100% for 3 seconds but we're getting there from natural stat growth.

#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

wary ice
#

they could make it like next 3-4 abilities have 100% crit

#

removes crit bleeds from the equation

royal lantern
#

idk why it would be op....?

fleet whale
#

yeah, that's why i said next tier it will be alright

royal lantern
#

i mean, not like 50% bonus crit is more ''balanced''

#

it just makes the talent somewhat shity too take right now cus its not consistent

fleet whale
#

it's the risk vs reward factor

#

and who the hell knows, maybe the "revamped" azerite neck coming in 8.2 will give sin more passive crit

royal lantern
#

idk, risk vs reward stuff should go away into yahtzee pirate

#

and its not really risk cus you dont do something risky imo

wary ice
#

the risk is not playing subt :^)

fleet whale
#

you're trading away a consistent stronger dot from the opener for a risk of having a very high damaging opener that will lead for more overall dps

civic palm
#

and the averages show that MA wins.

royal lantern
#

good thing im not average, but bellow average

fleet whale
#

but, if you really don't like MA, you're not killing your raid by going subt

royal lantern
#

yeha,ik

#

people dont know shit about rogues lol

#

i know that i dont need too use it lol

#

(for me atleast sim wise) the difference is way too small too actually matter

Should I stack 3 NP or 2 TC? Not sure if NP sims right.

drifting cloud

maybe secondaries, not really for agility

I mean assuming we are talking about people in 400-415 ilvl range

#

and not like the difference are that big

#

and im pretty sure everyone in that ilvl range has either mastery or haste above 3

warm harbor
#

@rotund stone I'd go the 3 NP's, TC along with simming lower may not have 100% uptime

fleet whale
#

yeah the dot from NP is pretty dam strong

strange python
#

Would it be worth it to take a NP trait over a TC trait?

scarlet wing
#

yes

yes, especially if you have no NP trait

Whats the master assassin CD rotation after opener? I've been ensureing bleeds are up ->vendetta ->vanish ->Env (or TB depending on points) ->mut (or env if first was tb) -> env (or mut) is this big dumb?

im just having trouble hitting my sim; down by like 9k unsure how big dumb i am;

the shrouded garrote trait.

you are using Ss subterfuge TB.

check the guide for opener.

and the midblock vanish is still vanish gg.

until you swap to 3DD with MA/TB.

these TB windows are very dry.

ahhhhh okay, i will read the guide for sure

lone junco

midblock vanish / vanish gg what does that mean?

this is another persons log.

they vanish into double garrote

aka vanish gg

ahhhhhhh

lone junco

its gronk and hes actually getting the add as well. so he gets ggg

thank you so much for your help, how can I check these openers ? sorry for noob question but i really have no idea

my sentence got a little split up

Roar is physical damage

Tantrum (on alliance side) is shadow damage so that can be cloaked at least

Someone in my guild was like "oh Zas should take orb because he can feint all the AoE and cloak stuff" So i end up holding the orb for almost a minute all the time

#

rip energy feelskarpman

worldly iron
#

whenever I grab an orb, I use it on the first combo

#

barely any uptime on me PiratePoggers

oblique smelt
#

my favorite thing about that fight is when i want to pool energy but then im 30% and not getting heals and there is a tantrum coming in so i have to feint and vial feelskarpman

worldly iron
#

my favorite thing is always having to take an orb

#

we're basically farming him, make someone else do it once angery

visual quartz
#

we started getting a range to grab orb, me and the other rogue are pumped ๐Ÿ˜›

I'm pumped for another week of no azerite drops PirateHeart

#

continuing on progress for rasty will be fun at least

pastel vault

just m+ for all bis azerite

quick ice

that's some good gambling

#

What's a legit high ilvl sin simulation looking like? 27k? Or not that high ?

pastel vault
#

no sin is 27k, dont think

vivid bone
#

I'd say anything near 25/26k is pretty up there

pastel vault
#

maybe like a bit over 26k

quiet crescent
#

Damn. We are cucked I thought mine was just doodoo.

rose perch
#

i'm 25,800

rose perch
#

sin always outperforms our sims relative to other specs though

#

since we handle downtime so well

quiet crescent
#

There's and ele in my guild simming over 28

#

When I have SS and vendetta comes back up do i use it before my vanish Garrotes or after

quick ice
#

such that your vanish garrote has as much uptime during vendetta as possile

rose perch
#

you should vanish, get your two garrotes, then vendetta generally

strange python
#

Well does he do 28k? Correct me if I am wrong but.... Patchwerk as casters are allways alot higher than they are since they have to move? :s

full harbor
#

So the damge is calcuated constantly?

rose perch
#

yes vendetta is dynamic, not snapshot

quick ice
#

yes

full harbor
#

it doesnt do more for full duration if i apply during vendetta

#

ok thanks boss

quick ice
#

also, RE: demo, - they have a crazy good trait at the moment (the explosion potential one he has 3 of)

quiet crescent
#

I understand why its OP.i run with a demo lock who regularly pulls 40k run dps

odd hatch
#

@rose perch A week or two ago you looked at my stormwall logs and mentioned i should use vanish w/ vendetta for the mega garrotes. One thing has been confusing me since then. Since vanish is used 16 or so seconds after vendetta in the opener, do i save vendetta when it comes up the second time around to line up with vanish?

quick ice
#

yes

solid nova
#

yes

rose perch
#

@odd hatch Yes - the second set you delay vendetta and then every future one they line up nicely for you ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

frozen pecan
#

yes

odd hatch
#

Mm alright then yeah that makes a lot of sense. Ive always been worried about losing an endgame vendetta because of saving it. Guess thatโ€™s why ive been holding

#

To think ive been making such a rookie mistake all this time ๐Ÿ˜“

rose perch
#

yeah i think if you know for absolute 100% suresies you'd lose a vendetta then maybe you can do something different

#

but i never do that

frozen pecan
#

just keep believing in yourself

odd hatch
#

Alright then, got it. Thanks all

If I cast envenom, my dots arent going to fall off and Im not about to cap energy is it ok to not cast anything or should I always be spending

drifting cloud
#

you can write an agry whisper to a warlock and you lose 0 dps

#

pretty much

quick ice
#

plus it might distract them enough to make them stuff up! ๐Ÿ˜„

#

then you can beat them

full harbor
#

So I dont really need to worry about that 10% damage buff uptime?

#

After finishers I forget the name, Planning?

odd hatch
#

Elaborate planning

cloud iris
#

@full harbor wait with the envenom instead of waiting after it

#

Except if ur vendetta/TB window is about to expire obviously

real bay
#

other stuff is more important than worrying about EP uptime

quick ice
#

pool at max XP

#

CP*

#

not 0

odd hatch
#

Think of it as would you rather have that 10% buff with full energy for mutilates and envenoms + dots or for solely dots. Pooling vs starved

slim socket
#

U want to use muti inside elaborated but usually it happens just like that

real bay
#

It's pretty automatic , pooling helps

slim socket
#

Everything comes down to pooling so basically u want to wait a bit before using finisher to get some energy to follow up with muti

#

Only exception is in Toxic Blade window when u want to get as many envenoms as possible

strange python
#

I know pooling before TB is what you wanna do. But you mean you are "micro"pooling even before every Envenom? Or did I misunderstand now?

slim socket
#

Yes

strange python
#

TB pooling 110-120
Envenom pooling? 40?

slim socket
#

Dont know exact number but idea is to get 4-5cp in 5s with elaborated buff

#

As long as you are not capping energy and cp with dots up u are not losing dps

mighty elm
#

Ik ppl say you want to fit as many env in Tb as possible , but last I checked The APL gets 2 and many times even 1 evenom in the TB, so I dont thinks itโ€™s as important as ppl make it seem

strange python
#

Any reccomendations for streamers/youtubers that play assassination? My guild almost has HC BfD on farm, but Iโ€™m not hitting the best logs and not sure where Iโ€™m falling down. Want to pick up some tips to see some purple/orange parses

#

@strange python you could post your logs here :)

golden relic
#

For raid specifically or ?

strange python
#

@mighty elm I think it is more important than the sim says. Otherwise nobody would care. So I think it is a gain

#

To be honest, I know my M+ game could be stronger too, but mainly speaking about raids here yeah. Iโ€™ll try and get a link for logs.

mighty elm
#

@strange python I thought APL does the best possible rotation ionwut

grizzled jay
#

If you are doing your rotation right, good logs come from faster and smoother boss kills

strange python
#

(Im the rogue, obviously)

real bay
#

it does what you can actually do, not every TB window gets 3 envenom in reality

strange python
#

@strange python I am not the right person to look at your logs :) It was Only a suggetstion. Other in here have very Nice parses

grizzled jay
#

I'm in a terrible guild just now starting mythic jade fire and I'm parsing 90 95s mostly. I'm gonna assume you aren't doing your rotation right @Dog

carmine lynx
#

@strange python you should try using MA with those traits first of all

#

3xdd 2 x np an 1x tc , no need to run subterfuge

solid nova
#

You're also triple mutilating

full pagoda
#

Hey guys. I'm also here to ask for somebody who's good enough to see in-depth logs problem and be good enough to let me ask him in PMs. And no, even if uptimes could be better this is prolly not the only reason I can't get any orange parses. It's super annoying me, another week, another fails. Anybody?

strange python
#

Hitting mutilate too many times on my opener and overlapping CP ?@solid nova

#

Overcapping *

solid nova
#

Not just in your opener mate

#

Its throughout the fights

#

You're also not pairing your 2nd vend/vanish

#

And second pot seems to be used randomly at times

#

You've got some whacky openers on some fights too

full pagoda
#

Here are the logs https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/zmLkbGpt4x9BrKwq
I also have another problem whicu Idk how to stop. Sometimes I tend to redot during TB, because I wanna redot in pandenic window. So, how do I overcome this? If anybody is good enough to tell me what else they see (except uptime prolly), let me know.

solid nova
#

Its better to refresh in TB, than let your dots drop off

full pagoda
#

Is it possible the reason of not having any SS traits and also baf trinkets overall, compared to most people be a reason fot me not being able to parse orange, as I just can't do more dmg? Like...the other rogue had some insane bursts, It looked like I was afk in the meanwhile.

#

If I had around 35-40k bursts at best, the guy prolly had around 60k

spice surge
#

You're casting fan of knives a lot of fights such as conclave and jadefire. With 3x DD you should only cast fok on 5+ targets

grizzled jay
#

You don't need SS traits to parse orange.

#

Unless you wanna cheese some secondary targets

#

But even then your setup should be enough

brisk aurora
#

its just easier if you know the fight ss is good and so consistent

strange python
#

We did zerg on 1st boss mythic. Somehow two adds died anyway.... padding ... damn padding :P

golden relic
#

I was thinking about something in the ravenholdt assa guide since we mostly say go read it lol

full pagoda
#

When I'm not using ss traits I can't pad on adds on first boss as I've got Ma, just gonna waste the whole opener. And I can't run down from boss to adds just to pad. I think I should switch 1dd for 1ss, as only mekka and jaina doesn't really have adds.

golden relic
#

in the rotation section on cleave it says Rupture, if the target will live long enough

#

wheres the context to that

#

its so difused

spice surge
#

There is literally nothing wrong with your setup aya

brisk aurora
#

i mean its not best for prog but if you wana parse better be a speedy boi and pad them adds

full pagoda
#

I care a lot for parses atm cos I wanna switch guild

#

That's why

golden relic
#

well no good guild is gna look at champions and think "wow he did a good job rupturing those adds"

#

"wow he ran SS to pad"

full pagoda
#

XD

spice surge
#

For example on conclave: Stop multidotting the bosses, stop using fan of knives and use a second pot

brisk forge
#

Hope your GM dont check out this Chanel then xD

brisk aurora
#

^^

#

we spam to keep him safe

full pagoda
#

I know a goos guild will check the log in-depth but still, when you see purple you are like, damn, he is not so good

brisk forge
#

Good guilds wants someone that is good with progress

subtle tundra
#

dps isnt everything

brisk aurora
#

you have logs you can link?

subtle tundra
#

youre a rogue you have a lot of utility

brisk forge
#

Not with 100% logs on farm

golden relic
#

purple is not that bad , now when u kno alot of ppl do pad, and dps isnt everything, theres so much more

subtle tundra
#

and you may be put to do special tasks

full pagoda
#

@brisk aurora they are a bit above

golden relic
#

I mean

full pagoda
#

@spice surge yeah well, I wasn't sure if it matters to multi dot bosses or stick to one, also, I highly doubt those things done woukd give me orange GWaobaPePeCry thanks for the tips though

golden relic
#

the other guy in your guild

brisk forge
#

Padding will give u higher parses

golden relic
#

if u check grong

#

he didnt swap once and u did

brisk aurora
#

i mean off the bat other dudes gear is better rings are big and yours can be replaced

golden relic
#

so like, sure he did more dps

brisk aurora
#

just gotta grind it out

golden relic
#

but in a scenario if u have to swap to adds like in mythic, if u only have HC logs t ogo off

#

it shows u are doing stuff properly

#

ppl value that

#

alot

full pagoda
#

His trinkets are insane

#

I think that brings his insane dps

spice surge
#

No, he plays better than you

strange python
#

When I was looking for guild in the end or Uldir that is all I came in with. I never die, allways do mechanics and did decent dps. Now my dps is higher and I still don't die to shit. They are happy with me ;)

brisk aurora
#

yeah you can get another galecallers too

#

or a plume

spice surge
#

On grong, you use vendetta on grong and then you swap to adds

#

and you dont second pot

subtle tundra
#

my trinkets are also insane. the motherlode trinket 425 with socket besad

spice surge
#

Also, using garrote inside MA ๐Ÿค”

golden relic
#

do u not have any other trinket

#

besides galecallers

severe current

Hey guys. When do i use fok correctly? I feel like 4+ target seems late given i have no dd and one eb

cuz your useage of it is like
